Squirtle

Squirtle (Japanese: ゼニガメ Zenigame) is a Template:T-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Biology

Squirtle is a small Pokémon that resembles a light-blue turtle. It has large brown eyes and a slightly hooked upper lip. Each of its hands and feet has three pointed digits.

Its shell is not merely used for protection. The shell's rounded shape and the grooves on its surface help minimize resistance in water, enabling this Pokémon to swim at high speeds. It can spray foam from its mouth with great accuracy.

Evolution

Squirtle evolves into Wartortle starting at level 16, which evolves into Blastoise starting at level 36.
